多媒体和数字艺术美术硕士

媒体和数字艺术（IMDA）研究生计划致力于调查新兴艺术实践的转变，特别是那些引起新过程的转变，这些新过程提出了独特的概念和社会挑战。在为期三年的学习过程中，IMDA的学生将巴尔的摩的街道，模拟和数字数据的浪潮以及享有盛誉的艺术，设计和视觉文化中心（UMBC的CADVC）的白墙用作艺术场所。最近的研究生们在智力和形式上都追求食品正义，安全，交通，地点，语言，身份，经济和技术问题，从而产生了诸如街头干预，分布式网络，物理计算，游戏，装置，表演等项目。 ，雕塑作品，版画，图纸，照片，视频，互动作品，动画，公共展
The Intermedia and Digital Arts (IMDA) graduate program is committed to investigating transformations of emerging artistic practices, especially those that give rise to new processes that pose unique conceptual and social challenges. During their three-year course of study, IMDA students use the streets of Baltimore, waves of analog and digital data, and the white walls of the prestigious Center for Art, Design, and Visual Culture (CADVC at UMBC) as their artistic venues. Recent graduate students have pursued issues of food justice, security, transportation, place, language, identity, economics, and technology in both intellectual and formal terms, resulting in projects such as street interventions, distributed networks, physical computing, games, installations, performances, sculptural objects, prints, drawings, photographs, videos, interactive pieces, animations, public displays, and other socially engaged works. Our national and international students are guided by a transdisciplinary dialog with engaged faculty and eminent visiting artists, critics, and curators. Each student has a studio, as well as access to a range of state-of-the-art facilities including film, video and audio production, computer labs, photography, and print facilities. Financial support includes Research Assistantships that entail teaching classes and assisting in labs such as the CADVC and the renowned Imaging Research Center (IRC) at UMBC. The path toward the M.F.A. prepares students for a culminating thesis exhibition at the CADVC and a published written thesis.
